    A beautiful old colonial style property about 15 mins walk away from the pedestrian area Mall Road, I’m Shimla. It’s a family run property and the team there were very helpful - it’s quickest to WhatsApp the owner as although the on-site staff were very helpful only 1 speaks English so quickest to WhatsApp

    Lovely homestay in Shimla. We had read reviews that stated there was no view from the room so were not disappointed. Good size room, clean and comfortable. Garden was a bonus for breakfast but would be cold any earlier in the year. Good location - a 15 minute walk to the Mall. Staff really attentive. Breakfast menu was good and varied.

    Me and my partner booked this property for our weekend gateway to Shimla. This is a heritage property which is very tastefully done by the owner. Staying here was a wholesome experience, right from the support given over chat by owner when booking was done to warm welcome by the caretaker, home cooked food, and the whole experience of staying in the property itself. It's located in the quiet/serene part of Shimla, a pleasant 15-20min walk (Do take this walk - It's really beautiful to walk along the roads nestled by the deodar trees) to Mall Road. The rooms are spotlessly neat and clean, loaded with toiletries and all essential stuffs that you may need will already be there. Apart from that you have a lot of supporting staffs and a caretaker who is just one call away. They prepared amazing veg and non veg food for our stay and we enjoyed it a lot. Special mention to masala chai and kawa chai!! We will definitely be back here for longer stays. Thanks for making our stay memorable, exceeded our expectations!

    Would be a bit of a walk to main pedestrianised area for anyone who was unfit.

    Large comfortable room with heater available. Modern bathroom, very good shower. Delightful toiletries. Staff gracious, welcoming and helpful. Arranged taxi for us to and from the railway station. Quiet location but not far from The Mall. Good breakfast available. Associated restaurant on The Mall had good food and drinks at reasonable prices.

    This place is truly a gem. Tucked not so far away from the city yet you get to experience the peace that you seek. We stayed for 3 days. After a long tiring journey, we were welcomed by Mr.Ravi with Kahwa, exactly what we needed then. The rooms are clean and comfortable. All amenities provided are top-notch. The caretakers are just a call away and the food they provide will only leave you wanting more- masala chai is something that we still crave for.

    Leaving this place

    Everything was simply perfect. So far the best place I have stayed at. The property and the rooms are so beautifully decorated. Anything you could need was available and if not, they made sure we got it. The staff and the chef are polite and always helpful. We were welcomed with a warm delicious cup of tea on arrival and everything from there on was truly an amazing experience. Food was delicious. Cleanliness was impeccable. The property is located very ideally. Nestled away from the crowds yet only a 10 minutes walk to the mall road.

    If you wish to experience Shimla, its hospitality, look no further! Edgeworth is the place to be!

    Truly a home away from home! Yes, that's how I felt when I reached the Edgeworth. We were so warmly welcomed by the hostess, Mrs. Ruchi Bhasin with a warm cup of Kahwa tea. Since my booking, Shivansh Bhasin (Mrs. Bhasin's son) had already kept in touch with me via Whatsapp, so we felt comfortable and at ease as soon as we arrived at their beautiful home. The home has been converted into a "home stay" on the ground floor. The rooms were spacious, tastefully done, and kept very clean. I particularly liked a separate changing room adjacent to the bathroom which was a nice touch! You have privacy in your room, and the staff is just a call away. Their staff is also very polite and respectful to the guests. The cook was amazing and we loved every preparation of his, including the amazing dals we ordered every night! You can also order food from their restaurant, Amaaya which is located on the Mall road and it's delivered to your room. We had different kinds of breakfast each day and every item was delicious. We enjoyed our breakfast in their beautifully landscaped garden with colorful flowers amidst a view of the Himalayan mountains. While the location is not on the Mall road, it's still a walking distance away. If you are traveling with elderly folks (as I did with my mom and dad), it was not difficult at all for them since we had hired a private car who would pick us from the doorsteps and bring us back to the same spot. A little something that I would like to add is that I was born in Shimla in 1971 and my parents had moved to Delhi when I was just a toddler, so this was a very memorable trip going back to my birth town after so many years! I couldn't have chosen a better place than Edgeworth where I felt love and warmth all around me. The location, the beauty, the serenity of the surroundings, and the immaculate hospitality were the perfect ingredients to recharge my soul and body. An A+ resort!!

    Great location in peaceful part of town 15 minute walk on an quiet road to the bustling part of Mall road. Super room with the most comfortable bed with crisp bed linen, great spotless modern bathroom with fantastic shower and wonderful toiletries. Great garden area for relaxing, reading a book and having breakfast. Excellent helpful staff with a special mention to Ravi for assisting with a few things. Good communication with the owner who helped organise a taxi.

    One small item is the house staff did not speak any English. It was difficult to convey our meal orders or any other questions we had. If we needed something, the communication was through WhatsApp with the owner.

    A true gem. When we arrived on the train into Shimla, all we could see were shops and hotels crammed together with small roads packed with traffic. However, when we took a taxi from there to the Edgeworth, everything changed for the better. The Edgeworth is located in an exclusive area of Shimla which includes lots of government officials residences. The roas is also off limits to cars unless you have the proper cred. This lends itself to making the area around Edgeworth very peaceful. We had lovely views over the town and toward the mountains while having tea/coffee in the welcoming front yard and patio. The house itself is very well maintained. Loved the hundreds of potted flowers and plants. The owner lives on the top floor while the ground floor has three bedrooms for booking. All are huge! We stayed in two of the three rooms over several days and they were both very nice, one with a crystal chandelier and Indian style swing, and the other decorated with Indian paintings. Bathrooms are spotless and everything is just so nice. Great historic feel and quality. You can't beat the location. Quiet area but just a 15 minute easy walk to the Mall Road which is the pedestrian-only shopping and restaurant area. Plus lots of historic buildings there to see, along with views as the road runs along the top of the hill. THIS is the place you want to stay.
